Station 11 - Jesus is nailed to the cross

Jesus has reached the place of the skull and is stripped of his clothing. Now in the midst of personal and emotional anguish, Christ endures physical anguish in the pain of crucifixion. His friends and family watch helplessly as the Son of Man is nailed to the cross.

In the midst of our pain, we feel, at times, maybe God hasn't heard my prayer? We can certainly understand the Lord's cry, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?" Our sins keep us from being close to God, and in that moment of separation, we experience true loneliness.

As we meditate on this station, we should remember that in the midst of our personal struggles, our personal storm, Christ is right beside us. He may be the whisper in the wind of the storm, but He is there, waiting for us to see the light of His glory and praise Him at all times, even when we think there's more rain coming.

Our Mission

Thanks for checking out our blog. Our goal is to bring the love of Christ to teens and young adults who are seeking or searching real love in all aspects of life and in all relationships. Through Pope John Paul II's (JP II) teaching of theology of the body we are hoping to seek tough answers to life's critical questions: who am I, what is my purpose and where am I going? We are looking for teens and young adults to help answer these questions so they and their friends can come to understand the love of God in a new, real way. We will reveal how real love is Full, Free, Faithful and Fruitful by blogging, commenting and attempting to answer YOUR questions.

"A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act."Mohandas Gandhi
